LOWER ROGUE WATERSHED ASSESSMENT ================================================================================================= P.O. Box 666, Gold Beach, OR 97444 (541) 247-2755 fax 247-0408 Prepared by Dana Hicks Coordinator, Lower Rogue Watershed Council August 2005 Lower Rogue Watershed Assessment i ABSTRACT Thank you for your interest in The Lower Rogue Watershed Assessment. The Lower Rogue Watershed Council’s mission is: To help foster, develop and coordinate a basin-wide approach to resource planning and management so as to protect, enhance and restore the natural resources of the entire Rogue Basin through a framework of assessing the Lower Rogue Watershed’s conditions and trends, implementing and monitoring proven management practices, and testing new management practices that are designed to support environmental integrity and economic stability for the communities of the Lower Rogue Watershed. The “Lower Rogue Watershed” consists of all lands and waters that drain into the Rogue and Illinois Rivers within Curry County. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The document has been a long process for the council and we would like to thank past and present watershed council members, staff and our partners for their assistance. Thank you especially to Dr. Bruce Follansbee who completed work on the assessment (especially the Channel Habitat Types), Mrs. Chris Massingill who helped with the Riparian shade analysis, Mrs. Cindy Myers who assisted with the Water Quality and Fish and Habitat chapters, and Mr. Mark McGuire who wrote on the narrative portion of the South Coast Watershed Council assessments, from which some narrative for this assessment was taken or based on.

Lower Rogue Watershed Assessment iv I WATERSHED CHARACTERIZATION A INTRODUCTION The Lower Rogue watershed is defined herein for the purposes of this assessment as the Rogue River and its tributaries downstream from river mile 55, at the Curry County/Josephine County Line in Southwest Oregon. While the Lower Rogue Watershed Council includes the Illinois River and it’s tributaries below river mile 6.6 in its interest, this area is considered by the state of Oregon as part of the Illinois River Watershed and has been assessed by the Illinois Valley Watershed Council. In addition, the Lower Rogue Watershed hydrologic unit extends beyond river mile 55, but the portion beyond river mile 55 is part of the Middle Rogue Watershed Council’s territory as defined by the state of Oregon. The Lower Rogue basin is 226,668 acres and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach, Oregon. The basin lies entirely within the Klamath Mountains Physiographic province, an area noted for steep, rugged terrain, narrow valleys, and sharp divides. Due to the geologic substrates present, most of the region is subject to varying degrees of instability. The topography of the basin reflects long- term erosion of a slowly rising upland; the result being a ridge system of roughly uniform elevation. Land use within the basin is primarily forestry related. No major urban areas, industrial centers, or agricultural operations are present in the lower Rogue basin. B SUBWATERSHEDS The Rogue River is divided into 13 “subwatersheds” for the purposes of this assessment; including 6 subwatersheds making up the mainstem of the Rogue River, and 7 tributaries. Delineation of subwatershed boundaries was based on several factors, including hydrologic boundaries, preexisting boundaries established by federal agencies, changes in topography, and river designations (e.g. wild & scenic, recreational). Subwatersheds were named after the major tributary (e.g. Quosatana Creek) or position in the watershed (e.g. Lower Rogue Mainstem). C LAND OWNERSHIP AND USE Within the Lower Rogue assessment area, 75 percent of the watershed is in public ownership and includes both federal and state lands. Most of the federal ownership is managed by the US Forest Service, with most of BLM’s management being in the Wild and Scenic area in the Upper Upper Rogue Mainstem. Public lands include 87% forest, 13% young nonforest, and <0.5% each in urban/agriculture and water. Lower Rogue Watershed Assessment 1.1 Private lands account for 25% of the watershed and include 74% forest, 22% young nonforest, 3% urban/agriculture, and 2% water. The Gold Beach urban growth boundary (UGB) contains 0.14% of the private lands and includes 12% forest, 45% young nonforest, 40% urban/agriculture, and 3% water. Table 1.1.

Listing of fish populations under the federal Endangered Species Act, for example, immediately focuses attention on evaluating habitat quality or hatchery production in the watershed. Likewise, water quality limited stream segments, listed under authority of the federal Clean Water Act, require that watershed management plans or Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) be developed at the state or local level. B INTRODUCTION The identification of watershed issues was intentionally conducted early in the process to help direct the watershed assessment. The purpose of identifying watershed issues was primarily to gain an understanding of the Lower Rogue Watershed Council’s perspective on those practices that may potentially impact salmonid fish habitat and water quality. C RESULTS The Lower Rogue watershed issues are summarized in two tables: Table 2.1, Lower Rogue River Regulatory Issues and Table 2.2, Lower Rogue Watershed Council Issues.

The major part of the Wilderness is in five watersheds, Upper Chetco River, Lower Chetco River, West Fork of the Illinois River, Illinois River below Briggs Creek and a Key Watershed, the Upper North Fork of the Smith River. The Wilderness Act stipulates that wilderness is "Federal Land.. .which is.. .managed so as to preserve its natural condition and which generally 3ppears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature...." The Kalmiopsis Wilderness was first designated as a Wild Area under the Secretary of Agriculture Regulation U-2 in 1946. The Wilderness Act of 1964 converted the Wild Area to Wilderness. The Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978 added 102,950 acres, making its present size of 179,850 acres. In addition to trails, access in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness is via existing primitive mining roads that were constructed in the 1930's well before the designation of the Wilderness by Congress. The Wilderness Acts noted above, specifically permitted the continued existence, perpetuation, and use of these roads. Though the roads are narrow, steep, and primitive in character, they are passable by 4-wheel drive vehicles, ATVs, and motorcycles. The roads are blocked by gates and closed to motorized public travel. However, they are available for motorized access through a Special Use Permit process.

Due to increased visitor use of the Rand BLM facility in recent years, and proposals to pave and use portions of the old CCC camp site for equipment storage, the Grants Pass Resource Area needs to determine the scientific significance of the Camp Rand site in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The purpose of the field evaluation was to determine the content, depth, variability, and integrity of any archaeological deposits, and to document the location of former Camp Rand structures. In addition, research was conducted to augment and synthesize the known history of the Camp Rand. This report presents the results of these investigations and recommendations for future management and interpretation of the site.

Elevation Gain: – 400 feet Difficulty: Easy 2 - 3 miles round trip hiking on road and off trail. Description: Join Marcia and Rachel on an easy hike to the BLM’s Woodcock Bog Research Natural Area. This area represents an outstanding example of a hanging fen on serpentine soils, as well as open forest stands of Pinus jeffreyi (Jeffrey pine) and denser stands of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford cedar). Most rare species occurring there bloom in the spring, but in July we’ll still see the vegetative leaves of Darlingtonia californica (cobra lily), and blooming Epilobium oreganum (Oregon willow-herb), Gentian setigera (elegant gentian), possibly Calochortus howellii (Howell’s mariposa lily), Viola primulifolia ssp. occidentalis (Western bog violet), and other later blooming species. After spending a couple of hours wandering around the fens at Woodcock Bog, we’ll head south to Obrien and FS Road 4402, which follows the West Fork Illinois River. We’ll stop at another BLM parcel that contains an abundance of rare serpentine species, where we can wander and search for the rare species Arabis koehleri (Koehler’s rockcress), Monardella purpurea (Siskiyou monardella), Epilobium rigidum (stiff willow-herb), Castilleja brevilobata (short-lobe Indian paintbrush), and Eriogonum pendulum (Waldo buckwheat), as well as more common later-blooming species. Start time: 8:30 am. Estimated finish time: 3:00 pm. RT Mileage: Approximately 40 miles round trip driving from Deer Creek Center.
